Interesting project, a closed loop control for stepper motors
Looks like the board can be mounted right on the motor. This is nice so it the stepper skips a step, gets jammed, etc etc, you get built in autocorrection. Its on github right now. Mechaduino- Closed Loop Stepper Servos … Continue reading

Good idea, use bike wheels for your robot
You can get tires for them, they can come with a gear built in…chain based. And I like how the author used the front fork for a trailing wheel to keep the bot steady. Definitely something to remember. http://letsmakerobots.com/node/49194
Nice video on making a cutting tool from old harden steel
Only down side is its alot of work. Looks really nice thought. http://sploid.gizmodo.com/watch-a-circular-saw-blade-get-transformed-into-a-two-h-1780922138
Another mirror display, but this maybe easier than using see thru glass
Interesting build. I was thinking of something similar with a tablet. What I like on this one is the author uses regular glass with reflective window film. Much cheaper solution. http://www.instructables.com/id/100-Smart-Mirror-Pi/?ALLSTEPS

flattening wood with a router
Basically the author makes a jig to flatten out a big log http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Flatten-Wood-With-a-Router/?ALLSTEPS
Laser show with CD Stepper Motors
Interesting build. I could see expanding on this for a cat/dog toy project http://www.instructables.com/id/Laser-Show-From-CD-Stepper-Motors/?ALLSTEPS

Build your own pool pressure test stick
OK I am adding this to the list of things to build. I have a pool, and sometimes wonder if my lines leak. This is a nice simple (and cheap) way to test them. Figure under $20 in parts. http://blog.poolcenter.com/article.aspx?articleid=6293
